Every project comes from our Nashville-based workshop, where CNC-precision cutting meets hands-on craftsmanship built to Architectural Woodwork Institute quality standards.
Commercial kitchens require materials that meet NSF certification and Davidson County health department standards, with TABC-compliant construction for bar and beverage stations, and we build to those requirements without cutting corners.

Kitchen Cabinet Styles and Configuration
Commercial kitchens demand cabinetry built to withstand daily wear, health code inspections, and constant staff turnover. We design our commercial cabinetry systems around prep efficiency, code compliance, and storage capacity specific to restaurant and bar operations.
Shaker Style Cabinets
Shaker cabinets remain one of the most requested styles we build, with a recessed center panel and clean, flat frame that gives this style its straightforward look and pairs with almost any kitchen layout or color scheme. We construct our Shaker doors from solid wood or furniture-grade plywood, joined with the same dovetail methods we use throughout our cabinetry, and the frame-and-panel design resists warping better than single-piece doors over time.
Shaker cabinets pair easily with painted or stained finishes, and we offer this style across all six of our material options, so you can choose based on budget and durability needs.
Flat-Panel and Raised-Panel Cabinets
Flat-panel cabinets, also called slab cabinets, use a single flat surface with no raised or recessed detail, built from thermofoil, MDF, wood veneer, or solid wood depending on the look and price point you want. This style suits modern and minimalist kitchens, and the absence of grooves or seams makes flat-panel doors easier to wipe down, which matters in commercial kitchens where we follow Davidson County health department construction standards.
Raised-panel cabinets sit at the other end of the style spectrum, with a center panel that rises higher than the surrounding frame for visible depth and shadow lines. We build this style primarily in solid wood or wood veneer to keep the detailing crisp, and it fits traditional and formal kitchen designs, though the multi-step milling process takes longer to produce, which we account for in project timelines.
Base, Wall, and Tall Cabinets
Every kitchen we build combines three cabinet types: base cabinets that sit on the floor and support countertops at roughly 34.5 inches before the countertop, wall cabinets that mount above counters for storage at 12 to 42 inches depending on ceiling height, and tall cabinets used for pantries, ovens, or utility storage at 84 to 96 inches. We build all three using furniture-grade plywood boxes with full-extension, soft-close hardware from Blum.
For kitchens with uneven walls or floors, we adjust cabinet dimensions and scribe pieces on-site rather than forcing a standard fit, so every run sits flush regardless of the room's actual conditions.
Kitchen Island Cabinetry
Island cabinetry requires finished panels on all visible sides since islands stand apart from the wall, and we build these units with the same dovetail drawer construction and soft-close hardware used throughout the rest of the kitchen. Islands often carry additional function, from seating overhangs and appliance garages to open shelving, sized and configured around your kitchen's traffic flow and the fixtures it needs to support.
For commercial kitchens, we build island and prep-station cabinetry using NSF-certified materials to meet health department requirements, with bar-height islands and beverage storage built to TABC compliance standards when alcohol service is part of the plan.
Commercial Kitchen Cabinetry And Storage Features
We build cabinetry in a range of door styles and layouts to match your kitchen's function and design, whether you're outfitting a home kitchen or a full commercial buildout. Each style below reflects construction methods we use across both residential and commercial projects in Nashville.
Commercial-Grade Prep And Storage Cabinetry
We build our commercial prep cabinetry from NSF-certified materials that meet Davidson County health department requirements, so the surfaces and construction methods hold up to sanitation standards required for food service. Our cabinet boxes use furniture-grade plywood, which resists moisture and repeated cleaning better than particleboard alternatives, and every drawer runs on full-extension ball-bearing slides so kitchen staff can access the entire drawer depth without digging through the back.
We fit our commercial units with Blum soft-close hinges to reduce noise and wear during high-volume service hours, and each cabinet is CNC-cut for precise measurements, which matters when equipment and storage need to align in tight kitchen layouts.
Bar And Beverage Station Cabinetry
We construct bar and beverage cabinetry to meet TABC compliance standards for establishments serving alcohol, including proper storage separation and materials suited for spill-prone environments. Our beverage station cabinets include bottle storage racks built into lower cabinet sections, ice bin housings sized to fit standard commercial equipment, glass storage shelving with reinforced supports, and pour station counters designed for point-of-service speed.
We work with restaurant owners and bar managers to plan layouts that reduce staff movement during peak hours, and material selection matters here too, so we offer thermofoil and sealed wood veneer options that hold up against alcohol exposure and frequent wiping.
Pull-Out Pantry And Corner Storage Solutions
Commercial kitchens rarely have wasted square footage, which is why we design pull-out pantry units to maximize narrow spaces, letting staff access shelved goods from both sides without removing entire shelving units. Corner cabinetry presents a common challenge in commercial layouts, which we address with rotating or sliding shelf systems that make use of blind corner space that would otherwise sit empty.
Every storage cabinet we build uses dovetail-joined drawer construction for added durability under repeated use, and we apply Architectural Woodwork Institute quality standards to our pull-out and corner units, ensuring consistent construction across every commercial project we complete in the Nashville area.
Kitchen Cabinets for Residential and Commercial FAQS
Most projects move from initial consultation to final installation over several weeks. CNC-precision cutting keeps our production timeline consistent, and we don't subcontract installation, so scheduling stays under our direct control.
Older homes with uneven walls or floors, common in neighborhoods like Germantown and Belle Meade, may require extra time for precise fitting. We complete a final walkthrough with you before we consider any project finished.
Pricing depends on cabinet material, kitchen size, and the complexity of the design. Solid wood and furniture-grade plywood boxes cost more than MDF or thermofoil options, and features like dovetail-joined drawers or Blum soft-close hinges add to the total.
